From Father Thomas: I have received notice from the bishop that the Catholic Conference
of Ohio, the bishops’ statewide council for public affairs, is encouraging a no
vote on Issue 3, the slot machine gambling issue. The conference lists six
reasons. For their detailed reasoning, go to www.othiocathconf.org. The reasons
given seem to mirror the concerns of the Ohio Council of Churches.
